Making Lemonade

You know the expression:
When life hands you lemons
make lemonade.

Well, I made my own lemon,
this time.

This little Monster High doll
was a thrift store find.
I wanted to try making tiny
clothes, so I bought her.

Someone had drawn on her
head and got a dot of blue
on her nose.

I used some "magic eraser"
to get most of her "hat"
off and started on her
"nose ring."

OOPS!
I found I had scrubbed
some of her eye off, too.

I needed to photograph
her in some clothes
I wanted to sell,
so I got out my "permanent"
markers.

OOOPS!
I smeared her.

A little fixing up
and she'll do
as a model.

Oh, my!  :)

Baby Baby!

Once upon a time, not so long ago, I had a task to perform.
This was outside of my comfort level and looked very big, to me.

In answer to prayer, a friend opened her home, taking most of the
load from my shoulders.  
I had no time for finding a hostess gift.  While I was there,
I learned that she loves hand knitted dish cloths.
Fine, I can do that.

As she was driving us to the airport, she learned that
I like to make doll clothes.
Her granddaughters have identical baby dolls
who are short of clothes,
having one outfit between them.
A little communication
with her daughter,
a stop at Target on Friday and
I've begun.

Here is the first outfit.
No pattern, just needledoodling. :)

A Little Blue Knit Sweater

It was fun, but I'm not happy
with the seams joining the
sleeves to the sweater
at the shoulders...

if you see what I mean. :/

A Little Lavender Knit Dress

Was it last week

That I finished this
little lavender dress?

I'm not sure,
but it was fun. :)

Petal Pink

I call it "Petal Pink" because

the one ply pink, two ply white
yarn reminded me of

apple blossoms which are
sometimes pink when they
are in bud and open into
white.  :)
This one is on eBay, so we'll see.

A Dress for Supersize Barbie

Hmmm!
It could use a little adjusting!
I'm going to list until I have a reasonable amount
in my Etsy shop.
It's only 20 cents
per item.
Of course, there's more to
pay if you actually sell something.
We'll see how it goes. :)

A Little Fun

Sewing pants and knitting a sweater
and a hat for Skipper was fun.
They're so little!

Of course, they fit Ricky, too.
Well, the hat's a little large.
Ricky's hair is not rooted.

Next: a dress from the same
vintage pattern as the pants.
(Maybe I should have followed
the instructions.)
